nTPoliticians in Baltimorl

lg- Politicians in Baltimore county are CON-
mencing to move around with great deal of &C.
tivty and oil the indications point to very lively
primary contest. In some of the districts-the
9th for example-both factions claim certain
victory and to listen to their respective solutions
of the problem you would almost be convinced
that both sides would win. Yet in politics, as in
other matters, of course this cannot be, and then
the question comes, Which is the strong side /?
The fight for Commissioner in the district is be-
tween DR.. Monmonier and Mr.. Jas. II. Smith, the
present fire marshal. From the best information
we can CLEAN it looks like the DR.. had the call,
particularly in the lower end of the district where
he is strongest. Both of them are very clever
gentlemen and well qualified for the duties of the
Office to which they aspire.

u.s. Mayor Hodges last week delivered the ad
dress of welcome to the National Brewers con.
vention which met in Baltimore, and since Their
some of the ministers of the city have been haul.
ing him over the Goals at lively rate and if he
is not well roasted by the time they get through
with him it will not be their fault. But the Mayor
takes the matter very coolly and thinks, as his
friends do, that he only did what was right under
the circumstances. To have refused would have
placed both himself and the city in bad posi-
ton, and there was really nothing in his address
ct which exception could be taken. 1t is quite
time for Baltimore city to be putting off some of
her old fogY notions.

LETTER FROM TEXAS.
The Drouth Ended-Extensive Views
What the Forest Produce-Absence
of Fruit, &c.


BUcKHoRN, AUSTIN COUNTY, TEXAS,
May 23d, 1887.
Messrs. Editors Since my last letter we have
been blessed with splendid rain, which fell just
in time to save the corn and cotton crops. Farm
ers have gone to work in good earnest and seem
to be quite cheerful their present prospects.
Everything in the line of vegetation is now look
ing we'll. Corn is in tassel and silk. Sweet pota-
toes are looking we'll and we have fine showing
for full crop. The umbrella china trees, which
shade the larger portion of yards and streets in
towns are now in full leaf and the foliage is 80
thick as to serve as protection against heavy
shower of rain Forest trees also in full foliage
and upon looking at the fully grown vegetation Of
all kinds we are reminded that summer is indeed
here.
On taking glance from this point we can see
the steeples and domes of buildings in three towns,
two of which are eight miles and the other ten
miles from this place. First comes Bellville, our
county seat, which is eight miles south of us (;
second, Chappell Hill, situated in Washington
county, eight miles nearly due north and third,
Hemstead, in Waller county, ten miles from this
point. Between these places the land is dotted
with healthy, thriving farm houses, especially to-
ward the south. Between here and Hemstead is
q tremendous forest, in which are said to exist q
great many wild animals, among which may be
mentioned deer, wolves, bears, wild cats and pan
theirs. Innumerable reptiles are also supposed to
inhabit this wilderness, among which is the much
dreaded rattlesnake. According to my opinion,
however, all these animals are less numerous than
they are supposed to be, as have been here near
ly two years and passed through the forest quite
often but have the first one to except the rattle
snake. 1 have one which measured, after
some one else killed him, and found him six feet
six inches long and three inches in diameter. I
judge he was about half grown. If this does not
find its way to the waste basket hope none of
the readers of The UNION will get frightened while
reading it, as those dangerous reptiles are not apt
to attack persons.
The greatest drawback with which have met
here in the way of satisfying the appetite is the
absence of fruit. There seems to be little or no
interest taken in orchards. Farmers tell me that
apples cannot be raised on account of heavy storms
which we have in the spring, blowing the fruit all
off. Peaches are raised to some extent in this
section, but of inferior quality, though in the
northern counties both apples and peaches are ex-
tensively grown. Dewberries are plentiful when
the crop is not failure, but they missed this
son. am happy to say, however, that we have
plenty of vegetables and the best of beef.
